Good luck, I hope the pressures are low for you. I had another check yesterday, now around year and half since I had SLT in both eyes and pressures are still low and still no drops currently. I hope SLT has been successful for you too.

Hi there, my check-up was six weeks after the laser. Good luck.

what were your pressures before lazer? Did you try drops first or straight to lazer?

Pressures were 19 and 17 on drops but offered laser anyway and took it. Painless and quick process. Pressures came down a couple of numbers on each eye straight after. Hopefully it has done some good.

34 and 28 at the highest but have had different readings as we all know they fluctuate. Always were around high 20s tho
